Technically, wouldn't home prices just fall until they were affordable enough for the community to purchase them? I suppose they could just sit in the owners hands forever, but that seems unlikely. I would think that, after some amount

The Unity-oriented stuff are good examples. The Stack Exchange sites came to my mind as well, though I was hesitant to count web apps.

Honest question, not snark: Who are some big C# developers that create major applications consumers (Not enterprises) use everyday? You mentioned the paucity of major OSX/iOS developers, but I'm not sure the case isn't the sa

It brings the costs of on-boarding, support and sales to 0. At least, from the customer facing perspective. Presumably, they also believe this will bring them a net increase in 'paying users', with larger customer defections comin

Google is NOT in the business of selling information to advertisers. They're in the business of choosing who to advertise products to based on the information they collect and hold onto. There is a significant difference between the tw

A co-worker and I were just talking about this. My take on the situation is that this could be partially alleviated if the car were to refuse to get off of the highway until after the driver manually took it out of autopilot. If the driver

Wouldn't changing the price agriculturists pays for water be exactly the kind of regulation you're deriding? Though perhaps you are referring to the price of something else?

Neat theme. I've been enjoying Space Gray for a few months now: http://kkga.github.io/spacegray/ Any other suggestions for somewhat minimal themes out there?

By that logic, shouldn't all of the workers in [manufacturing|food service|sales|etc] do the same? Virtually all firms are going to invest in optimal production/service methodologies in order to stay competitive and capture the la

The CalTech and MIT pranks are legendary, and generally go well above and beyond what was demonstrated in this situation. The prosecution of this 'offense' is simply absurd.

The issue, as I see it, is that startups account for a pitiable number of the overall H1B Visa count. For that matter, engineering powerhouses in general account for a small number of H1B Visa use. The majority of the visas are snatched up

North Korea's previous leader, Kim Jong-Il, was killed in 'Team America: World Police'. Impaled, actually. So not only has this precedent been set, but it was done to the same country's leader by producers and directors

And those properties that statistically discourage an entire sex from pursuing Computer Science are... The problem is that I have seen no significant evidence to support such a claim. And on the flip side, it seems rather straightforward to

What does 'not interested' connote? And how do you frame it? Consider these two statements: 1) The female sex is intrinsically(biologically) uninterested in Computer Science. 2) Girl's are raised in an environment that pushes

I don't think what you provided are counterpoints, they're facts in support of the point. Censorship in the name of preventing " foreign interference " is no less censorship.

I think you're being a bit overly defensive here. (S)he was just pointing out some facts about the system that I didn't grasp in my initial post. It's important that we remain critical of any system. And it's equally imp

Hmm, yes. That makes sense. Being able to retrieve from a different device would blow the 'by device' idea apart. And you're also able to reset your password and have access to all of your stored information, which I think ju

All your iCloud content is encrypted in transit and, in most cases, when stored (see below). If we use third-party vendors to store your data, we encrypt it and never give them the keys. Apple retains the encryption keys in our own data ce

Oops, good point! I forgot that they calculated the geometry and stitched the images to create novel frames. The gyroscope data most certainly would not allow one to do the same.

Very different. Microsoft Research was manually computing a motion map using heavy image-processing techniques that they then used to decide which frames to use and how to align them. Their work can do things like throw away a series of &#x
